Lenkradsteering wheel

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lenkrad, bestehend aus einer gegossenen Nabe, wenigstens einer darin eingegossenen, in der senkrechten Mittelebene angeordneten Speiche und einem damit verbundenen Kranz, die insgesamt mit einem elastisch oder plastisch verformbaren Kunststoff ummantelt sind.The invention relates to a steering wheel, consisting of a cast hub, at least one cast therein, arranged in the vertical center plane spoke and an associated wreath, which altogether with a are encased elastically or plastically deformable plastic.

Ein solches Lenkrad weist bestimmte Verformungseigenschaften auf, um bei einem Aufprall oder Zusammenstoß des Fahrzeugs die durch den Fahrer darauf ausgeübten Kräfte aufnehmen zu können. Darüber hinaus gewährt ein derart gestaltetes Lenkrad Blickfreiheit, für die in Blickrichtung des Fahrers angeordneten Anzeigeinstrumente.Such a steering wheel has certain deformation properties in order to avoid it in the event of an impact or collision of the vehicle to be able to absorb the forces exerted on it by the driver. In addition, granted a Steering wheel designed in this way, freedom of view for the display instruments arranged in the direction of view of the driver.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß das eingangs beschriebene Lenkrad weiter verbessert werden kann, wenn erfindungsgemäß die in der senkrechten Mittelebene verlaufende Speiche stark verbreitert ausgebildet ist und die die Speiche umgebende Kunststoffummantelung zum Fahrer hin mit einem ganz oder teilweise umlaufenden, mit einer schmalen Innenlippe ausgestatteten hochgezogenen Rand versehen ist, wobei unter der Innenlippe eine aus einem harten Werkstoff bestehende, vorzugsweise als Schreibunterlage dienende Platte eingeklemmt ist.It has now been found that the steering wheel described at the outset can be further improved if according to the invention the spoke running in the vertical center plane is greatly broadened and the spoke Spoke surrounding plastic coating towards the driver with a completely or partially encircling, with a narrow inner lip equipped raised edge is provided, with one of a existing hard material, preferably serving as a writing pad plate is clamped.

Am nabenseitigen Rand kann die Lippe in Längsrichtung der Speiche vergleichsweise breit ausgebildet sein, um beispielsweise Zettel darunter festklemmen zu können.At the edge on the hub side, the lip can be made comparatively wide in the longitudinal direction of the spoke, to be able to clamp notes underneath, for example.

Die Speiche kann aus zwei zur Nabe hin konvergierend angeordneten Stahldrähten oder -rohren sowie aus einem Stahlblechstreifen bestehen.The spoke can consist of two steel wires or tubes converging towards the hub as well as one Sheet steel strips are made.

Eine solche Ausbildung der Lenkradspeiche ist insofern besonders vorteilhaft, als die Speiche gleichzeitig als feste Schreibunterlage dient.Such a design of the steering wheel spoke is particularly advantageous insofar as the spoke is at the same time serves as a firm writing surface.

Nachstehend ist ein Lenkrad gemäß der Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben. In der Zeichnung zeigtBelow is a steering wheel according to the invention with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing described. In the drawing shows

Fig. 1 eine ausschnittsweise Draufsicht eines Lenkrades im Bereich der Lenkradspeiche.Fig. 1 is a fragmentary plan view of a steering wheel in the area of the steering wheel spoke.

Tig· 2 einen Querschnitt durch die Lenkradspeiche entlang der Schnittlinie I - I der Fig. 1.Tig · 2 a cross section through the steering wheel spoke along the section line I - I of FIG. 1.

Fig. 3 einen Längsschnitt durch die Lenkradspeiche entlang der Schnittlinie II - II der Fig. 1.3 shows a longitudinal section through the steering wheel spoke along the section line II-II in FIG. 1.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Lenkrad besteht aus dem Lenkradkranz 1 und der gegenüber diesem versenkt angeordneten Lenkradnabe 2, die beide über die konvergierend zur Nabe 2 verlaufenden, die Speiche 3 bildenden Stahldrähte 4, 5 verbunden sind. Alle Teile sind mit einer Polyurethan-Schaumschicht 7 ummantelt, wobei die Stahldrähte 4, 5 in einem Polyurethan-Schaumteil 7 eingebettet sind. Das Schaumteil besitzt fahrerseitig einen erhöhten umlaufenden Rand 8 mitThe steering wheel shown in the drawing consists of the steering wheel rim 1 and the sunk opposite this arranged steering wheel hub 2, both of which extend over the converging to the hub 2, the spoke 3 forming steel wires 4, 5 are connected. All parts are covered with a polyurethane foam layer 7, the steel wires 4, 5 being embedded in a polyurethane foam part 7. The foam part has on the driver side with an increased circumferential edge 8
